Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Tek Shield class used for in mods or spawn tools?

Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Tek Shield by its class PrimalItemArmor_ShieldTek_C or GFI PrimalItemArmor_ShieldTek. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.

How do I spawn a higher-quality Tek Shield?

The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_ShieldTek 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Tek Shield. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.

What is the admin command to spawn the Tek Shield?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_ShieldTek 1 0 0. That gives you one Tek Shield instantly. The three numbers after the code are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag. Raise the first to spawn a stack, or set the last to 1 to receive it as a blueprint instead of a finished item. Verified against the current ARK: ASA build as of June 28, 2026.

Does the Tek Shield spawn command work in single-player and multiplayer?

Yes, the command is identical in both. Single-player has cheats enabled by default; multiplayer just requires an admin login first. The Tek Shield then spawns the same way.

What's the difference between the Tek Shield GFI code and its blueprint path?

The GFI code PrimalItemArmor_ShieldTek is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Armor/Shields/PrimalItemArmor_ShieldTek.PrimalItemArmor_ShieldTek'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Tek Shield.

How do I add the Tek Shield to a starter kit or loadout?

Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Armor/Shields/PrimalItemArmor_ShieldTek.PrimalItemArmor_ShieldTek'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
